AFAIK you could order the tartan red with either the grey panels or the red ones, what I have no clue is if the red panels were part of a package or what.
MC Silk Green buyers could opt for the "Emerald Green" leather interior with green seats, green door panels and rear seat trim. It was a $1,200 option. However if you opted for the Emerald Green leather seats, you could not get the sports seats as it was offered only on the standard seats.
Silk Green metallic was offered in the 2002 model year and was quickly discontinued in February 2003. There are a handful of 2003 Silk Green MCs built between September 2002 and February 2003.
One of the rarest colors, closely followed by the now defunct also only MC color, Velvet Red metallic (Which was discontinued at the end of the 2003 year production in August 2003).

I've never seen one with the green interior, not even in photos. I started another thread with this regard. That one must be really rare too.
I've only seen it once before. I wish I would have taken pictures. Unless someone had swapped in interiors, but I doubt it.

Crown Mini in VA has an '03 one with the all-red interior(red panels) for $14,900 (I can almost bet is negotiable). Here's the link for those of you looking for a rare Mini:

Yes, they do. If you go to the main page and do an inventory search, all their MINI's show up on a list, mileage included.

Wow...those seats are so cool!!!
I would not place this in as rare a category as the first one as the car has been you-ified nicely, but the OEM finish on the first is what I would seek out.
I must say I really enjoy seeing unusual R50s either here or in person.

I bought seat covers from MINI that looked exactly like the ones in those pics for my 06....they were around $250 just for the back seats..never did get around to putting them up front before I traded it in on my 07
